    Summary

    Agatha whipped her head and body towards the student. “What the fuck is your problem?”

    “No problem,” She shook her head, smirking. “I like talking to you.”

    “You like pissing me off.” Agatha sniped, plucking her glass off the bar when it arrived.

    “Those two seem to be one in the same.”

    “Just tell me something.” She said after letting a sip burn down her throat. “Where do you get off speaking to a respected professor like that?”

    “Like what?”

    “You were argumentative, disrespectful, dismissive–”

    “No, Agatha, that was you.”

    “Dr. Harkness.” Agatha corrected. “Only people I like can call me Agatha and I don’t like you.”

    “Now, that’s not true.” Rio tilted her head. “You’re talking to me, aren’t you?”

    OR

    Newly tenured professor, Dr. Agatha Harkness, has nothing to prove. That is until she meets a smug, twenty-three year old PhD student in Copenhagen after her first keynote speech. Never one to shy away from a challenge, Agatha seeks to put Rio in her place by any means necessary. No matter what the consequences…

    Summary

    “Aw, you got me a present?”

    “Well—before I knew you were…” Rio hesitates, gestures vaguely in Agatha’s direction, tries to ignore the amusement rolling off her in waves, “You.”

    “Still got me one,” Agatha’s voice is melodic—a taunt wrapped in a tease, “You can’t take it back now. That’s gotta give you like a hundred years of bad luck or something, right?”

    (Rio wouldn’t know, but at this point she’s ready to risk it.

    She can just ask Lilia later.

    Later when she’s… back in Westview and trying to avoid this one street like the plague.)

    “I think it would be best if I took it and left,” Rio says, present gripped in her hand like Agatha’s a feral dog who’ll rip it from her with her teeth, “We can pretend we never saw each other.”

    OR

    Rio's only going to this party as moral support for Alice, so of course the stranger hosting it is her ex-girlfriend, and of course the gift she brings her is a vibrator.

    Summary

    It started harmless enough. Like a game. One of their old ones.
    (...)
    Agatha smiled like a cat stretching out in a sunbeam. “So, answer a few things for me. Just for fun.” Agatha leaned in closer, the tips of their shoes brushing now. “Would you rather lose your sense of taste... or touch?”
    Suspicion flickered in Rio’s brow. “Taste,” she said slowly, “easily.”
    Agatha didn’t stop. “Have you ever lied to me?”
    Rio’s heart kicked against her ribs, almost loud enough to drown out the music. “…Yes,” she whispered.
    "Did you feel bad about it?”
    The question was gentler. Sadder, somehow. “Yes.”
    “Why do you lie then?”
    “I…” Rio faltered, blinked. “I don’t know. Fear, maybe.”
    “Do you think about kissing me?”
    Rio’s breath stuttered.
    “It’s okay,” Agatha murmured. “Why don’t you?” Another silence. This one louder. Agatha’s voice dropped to a whisper, low and dark and protective. “That’s okay. You don’t have to answer everything.”

    Summary

    Rio stared at her quietly, slowly tapping her foot against the tiled floor. A wrinkle formed between her eyebrows from thinking about Agatha's predicament, and the lawyer sighed, waving her hand dismissively.
    "Stop trying to find a solution to this. It will give you a stroke."
    "Marry me," Agatha was glad she had finished her drink because she would spill it all over the bar at the words. She blinked to regain her composure, her mind scrambling for a teasing remark to fire back at Rio, but her tongue could only form one word.
    "What?"
    "I'm not a stranger from Craigslist, and I know probably most psychopaths would say that, but I'm not a psychopath. So, marry me."
    ---
    Agatha learns about a clause in her mother's will that makes her unable to inherit Evanora's fortune unless she gets married by forty. While drowning her sorrows at a bar, she meets Rio, a PhD student working behind the bar to make ends meet, who proposes an insane solution to her problem. Or rather, proposes to Agatha.
    Everything spirals out of control after that.

    Summary

    “Uh, hi.” Rio fingers the strap on one of her backpacks. “I’m- meeting someone here? Actually, I’m… moving in. Well, I’m not moving in, but I’m staying- um, do you know Ag-”

    “She’s with me,” a sharp voice says, and- oh. Agatha Harkness exits the rightmost elevator. She’s dressed in tailored black slacks and a blousy white top, dark hair loose over her shoulders, falling in waves that are unfortunately just the right size and shape for Rio to reach up and tug. Her heels clack against the marble tile floor.

    “Hi, Agatha.”

    “Rio Vidal.” Agatha gives Rio a onceover – no less thorough or scrutinizing than her flashy doorman – and turns away quickly. “Hi, Clint. She’s the one I mentioned before. Do you have her key ready?”

    or: broke grad student and certified lesbian disaster rio vidal crashes on agatha harkness' foldout couch. it's a lot more life-affirming than you'd think.
